It makes sense due to the location to span the entirety of the United States, growing market and a vacation spot.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

At least we'd go back to murdering KU at football
Adding another Vandy probably sounds good.
Yeah, the only leverage the Pac 10 has is Oregon and Washington immediately become the tent pole programs that the Big 12 kind of needs to be viewed as a CFP worthy conference.
Calm down. I am saying this anti-Big 12 sentiment will win the day, just that it's there. For example, Bruce Benson was anything but a progressive, and he LOVED the idea of CU being academically compared to Stanford, Cal, UCLA, etc. Others within the admin feel the same way right now.
Another poster on 247 who is credibly in the know with some people has said that CU is viewed far more favorably by outsiders than it is by CU fans and the local media.
I disagree. We have seen it done. We just need leadership that understands the importance of a competitive football team.
Find someone who loves you as much as Nik loves SDSU and UNLV.
I would LOVE that result, especially from where we are presently sitting. (POD 3 is the AFC West this year. That can be a tough group.)
But there's a scenario you can think of where CU makes more sense for the SEC and ESPN than the B1G and Fox.
We'll absolutely dominate the SEC skiing championship though
And CU leadership would see that as a sign of being on their academic level.
Interesting. But it also makes sense given the mood on this board.
Hey we almost beat A&M last year!!
If you're going to be a western conference, we are spread out with significant metros which matter. San Diego and Las Vegas are significant holes if left out of a western conference media plan. It annoys me.
Edit: Think of regular business ventures. Could you imagine saying to your senior management or board, "We're not going to entertain franchising into San Diego and Las Vegas & it's fine because we've got partners we really like in Pullman and Corvallis"? It's just so damn stupid.
Look at it this way. Joining the mouthbreathers in the SEC would give our admin the arrogance and sense of superiority it so desperately wants
That’s when we paid players and didn’t live in our current political landscape.
Two of the most apathetic sports cities in the country, though.
We almost beat them could be allbuffs new slogan if we somehow end up in the SEC

More proof the quicker we rid ourselves of the ****ing morons on the West Coast, the better. Read the ****ing room, morons. You have no leverage whatsoever.
I'd jump at the SEC if that's possible, but I doubt it is. I think they'll put OSU in with us and keep the Texas schools together.

The idea that the Pac 10 thinks it has enough leverage to pull a stunt like that is likely coming from up there.
Best case scenarioes are the SEC or a move to the Big 12 minus any coastal schools.
Why? Is there a exclusivity window due to the existing contracts?
Yes, according to some twitter talk
I was at Vandy when we tied a good Georgia team with a last second field goal from 50+. We lived on that for years (apparently even to this day). It's a great mind-set to understand.
Well, the local media still believes the P12 switch was the problem and that a move to the MWC should have been the call, but then the local media is largely clueless when it comes to CFB. The fanbase at least understands why that was not a viable option and why the P12 move, even in retrospect, probably was the right decision.
After my initial lol at SEC talk, I’ve kinda thought it might be more plausible than initial reaction.
The B1G now owns the 3 top media markets which are as big as the next 7 markets combined.
The SEC may want to capture more markets to offset that.
